Music
Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band, Bright Eyes, Matt Costa, the Shins, the Beatles, Worker's United Front, Daniel Johnston, John Lennon, old Bob Dylan, the Metaphysicists, et cetera. If you ask me about music, my answer is most likely going to be, "I have no time for it." Which is kinda true. I don't make time for it. It isn't that important to me.
